First Soccer Class

Emme just finished her first soccer class.  She rocked the first day...and maybe was into it about 5-10 minutes each additional practice.  She would walk around, play and run but not use her ball and occasionally run onto the baseball field and over to the fence and sit and watch.  She wanted more than needed water breaks and really ignored the coaches.  There were two coaches and her favorite was the one below.  She always made sure she high-fived him and only him and did what he said.  She really does only what she wants.

Below is the last day.  The coach from England gave her a certificate and she looked so proud.  She wore her uniform to the cutest level possible and enjoyed her idea of soccer playing!  I enjoyed watching that!  Don't worry she's signed up for gymnastics-maybe more her forte right now!

Sad Day

Here is one of your three grandfathers.  He was married to Grandma for 33 years.  Zackary you had some time with him your first 4 1/2 years and were only just developing that wonderful personality some have for hiking and exploring, and I wish you were able to share in that with the man known for it, but I am glad you knew him.  Emeline, you probably don't remember him well...but he loved you to bits. He thought you both were the cutest things and incredibly smart.  He always wanted to hear what and how you were doing.  Emme he would have loved your 2 year old puppy  birthday party.
In this picture he is giving his last speech/lecture at the Adventures Club in LA.  He made an endearing speech about your Grandma, and who thankful he was to have her in his life.  That kind of love between them is rare, and I really hope you both find that.

Grandpa was a very special man.  You both will have to look him up and read about him as you become adults. 

If you ever need some peace and want to work things out in your head, or want to say hello I can show you where he is.

You both brought so much sunlight to Grandma in very hard dark times.  We visited her a lot and she so enjoyed having you there keeping her going and smiling some.

Mothers Day

What a perfect morning!  We spent it at the Montage along the ocean, and it was a lot of fun.  Zackary went tide pooling with Ben and Emme and stayed in one little small pool just for her.  Zackary met a friend as well and they had so much fun searching and hunting for crabs, and they found huge one.  After a morning of exploring we walked around for awhile at the hotel and came home. 

That afternoon we drove up to Grandma's and we all took her too dinner for Mothers Day along with GG (Great grandma).  Dad spent the couple of hours with your Grandpa in the hospital watching over him, which was so sweet of him.
I am so lucky to have two amazing, beautiful, adventurous, smart children and one sweet husband!
